Why did Yahoo screw up answers section so much? Do they ever use it? Eliminating categories on right side just stupid.?
unless they want to get rid of answers section altogether. And today I notice that doesn't have the "branches of tree" where I could hit "all categories" and get something similar to what had just last week.

Yes this section is screwed up but I do not have the same problems as some other members are having not being able to see the left side panel. I use Chrome and I am sure they did not eliminate them altogether. There are many glitches on this site just hope Yahoo will fit it for you soon.
Good luck and I hope I don't run into that same problem.

One thing Yahoo is good at is messing things up or ignoring problems. Removing the left side column was just stupid.
That has happened to quite a few others. It was fine for me using Chrome or Firefox on Saturday and was not on Mobile.
I cleared my history on Chrome Saturday night and the left side column has now totally gone using the US site.
The column is still there though on Firefox and IE.

No one knows the reason why it happened or if it was caused by Yahoo tinkering with something or testing anything.
Best to try a different browser if using Chrome.
Not much we can do but hope it gets back to normal and hope it's not the newest change.

I know, I'm using the wrong country's Yahoo Answers board because the US one is screwed up. The fonts are unreadable, and the categories are gone. I think they are just stupid.

They are not eliminated for everyone. I use Chrome as my browser and they are there.
